Product and delivery lead
Turns what you need into a scope, slices and a plan, then keeps it honest. Also your single point of contact — without becoming a wall between you and the engineers.
DEV SOLUTIONS · TEAM
A senior application development team.
The team behind Partsy is small, senior and stable: the people who design the platform are the people who build it, and they are the people you would be working with. Here is who does what, how a squad is put together for a project, and what every change goes through before it reaches you.
THE ROLES
Six disciplines, one squad.
Not every project needs all six. The squad is assembled from them according to what the work actually requires, and it is your squad for the duration — nobody is rotated off to another account halfway through.
Senior full-stack engineers
Own a slice end to end: interface, backend, data and deployment. One engineer who can carry a feature beats three who each own a layer and none owns the result.
Mobile engineers
iOS and Android, cross-platform and native, including the store release work that a mobile project lives or dies by.
Backend and API engineers
Services, data models, integrations and the jobs and plumbing that make other systems agree with each other.
QA and automation
Owns the automated checks and the release pass. Testing is a role here, not something a developer squeezes in at the end.
DevOps and cloud
Environments, deployment, backups, monitoring and alerts — set up so incidents are found by a dashboard rather than by your customers.
HOW THE TEAM WORKS
Practices, not promises.
These are the things that make output predictable. They are deliberately unglamorous, and they are the reason the platform behind this site has been extended for years instead of being rewritten.
- Senior-only delivery — the people who scope the work write the code for it.
- Reviewed changes — a second engineer reads every change before it is merged. No exception for "small" ones.
- Tests as the definition of done — a feature is finished when its checks pass, not when it looks right on a screen.
- One squad per project — no shared pool, no context switching between four clients in a day.
- Written decisions — why the system is the way it is, recorded where the next engineer will find it.
- Small meetings — if a decision does not need you, it does not need your calendar either.
WHY YOU CAN CHECK
The team's work is public.
Most development teams ask you to take their word for it. Ours ships a product you can use right now: the marketplace, the brand workspace, the distributor portal and the partner portal are all built and maintained by this team, on one codebase.
Open the marketplace, pick a catalog, click a numbered part, and judge the standard for yourself. That is the same standard your application would be held to.
QUESTIONS
Working with the team.
How big is the team?
Small on purpose. A project runs with one delivery lead and the engineers it needs — usually two to five people — because adding people to a project that is already late makes it later. Everyone on it is senior enough to own a slice from design to deployment.
Are the developers on my project in-house?
Yes. The engineers are our own team, and the people who scope your project are the people who build it. We are not a sales office that subcontracts delivery to someone you never meet.
Can we talk to the engineers directly?
Yes, and we prefer it. You get a direct channel to the people doing the work, alongside the delivery lead who keeps the plan honest. Most misunderstandings in software projects are caused by a message passed through one person too many.
What if we need a skill the team does not have?
We say so during scoping rather than learning on your budget. For genuinely specialist work — a hardware integration, a compliance read, a design language — we bring in a known specialist and tell you who they are and what they cost.
